Hey, was just goofing off on Tirerack.com and look what I came across...


Is this truly RO_JA ripping off the GramLights 57S Pro? Or is it really a GramLights wheel that they are showing with a RO_JA centercap? Or am I missing something...

You've cracked the case. It's Rays ripping off Rays.

 

 

man did you see the sell price? 72% off 199 for each rim...lol

 

Tire Rack is legitimate, and has some excellent closeout prices. These wheels listed for $732 and $751? Possible but I cannot verify.

 

LOL great minds think alike!!!

 

Not sure what is funny about $200/wheel?

 

Probably a closeout wheel and they bought every wheel that was in-stock at a reduce price.

 

Isn't RO_JA under Rays Engineering? Or am i missing the sarcasm here? lol

Anyways those are some insane pricing!

Sorry, apparently Im more n00b than I thought hahaha I didn't realize RAYS made RO_JA wheels. I thought it was just that dude who was in Fast and Furious, like his line of wheels. Didn't know Rays actually made them. Sorry to offend!! haha But that def is a sick deal on those wheels


I mean really all you gotta do is buy the GramLights center caps, and you have yourself a set of GL 57S Pro's. It even has the g engraved on the one spoke.

 

I saw those about 2 weeks ago, but notice they have less than 2 in each size

 

Ro_Ja has a mfg agreement with Rays to produce his own line of wheels that are similar to gram lights.. so its not a knock off. its made under license.

this is an inventory clearance from tire rack.

 

28 lbs per wheel? ouch

 

ummm, yeah.. Nothing light about GramLights. ever. then again, I'm not aware of any of the 2pc Rays (including Volks with forged centers) being under 25 lbs in 19" flavors.

Btw, this is all very convoluted. Technically, American Racing = RoJa wheels, two models *were* made by Rays, the R2-5 and R2-7. Mine came in Rays Auto Couture boxes and appear to have been dropped shipped from Mackin.. yet my centercaps came separately from American Racing (yay :/), but honestly no complaints, my centercaps are very quality machined aluminum..

Eliteswheel still lays hands on new sets from time to time. On clearance, they are a great value on a very high quality wheel. You're getting the same barrels as a volk. Same cast center as a GM wheel. Yet the color is *slightly* different (silver).

 

The R2-5 is a good looking wheel... just wish the lips were a bit bigger.

 

just means more Rays anodized lips to maintain :/

the rears aren't too bad... both the 10.5+34 and 9.5+19 (all that Ro_ja ever branded from the GM57Pro line in our rear fitments) have the same 17mm lip.

 

^ That looks more like the GGames, which I know was also RAYS. But I wish they had a plain old 57Pro knock off hahaha In gold! Woooo

 

Still a hot wheel nevertheless.

 

hmmm, are you the guy at Zdayz last year who said "nice knock offs" while standing next to my car? If so, you probably remember my response anyway, they arent even close to ggames




last year I was in the same boat, i wanted prices at TireRack but they didnt have my offsets. I called around and finally found somebody who had them in what I wanted (eliteswheel) and pretty much pricematched to TireRack.. But mine were still almost 400 each. Kinda novel approach to ask for a pricematch, but they didnt seem to mind matching TR. Actually, TR worked pretty hard to find the offsets I wanted, even at clearance price.
